416 Burning oil and the road to redemption

Took some time to check out the cam. Its a CamMotion grind 256 @ .050" single pattern, 110 LSA +4 ground in for 106. Knowing small Mopars are hard on timing chaings, I put the crank gear in the +2 position and degreed it. It came in @ 103.75 instead of 104--close enough. I also checked intake timing @ .050" and it was exactly 257 deg and the intake closes @ 53 deg ABDC. Checking phasing with crank gear in the +4 position showed a 102.25 ICL which I don't really care for. Lobe lift measured exactly .364". J.Rob

Man that block needs some slim fast!
wonder what year the block is? I don't remember mine having half moon water passages.
